Glass

We warrant insulated glass against failure of the air seal and that each unit will be free from material obstruction of vision as a result of fogging or film formation on the internal surfaces. We warrant laminated glass against delamination resulting in materially obstructed vision through the laminated glass. All glass is warranted for a period of ten (10) years as a pass through warranty from the glass manufacturer of record.

Optional and Custom color paint finishes are warranted for a period of ten (10) years unless in coastal environments (within three (3) miles of a sea coast or salt water, which will be warranted for a period of one (1) year). Anodized finishes are warranted for a period of three (3) years unless in coastal environment (within three (3) miles of a sea coast or salt water which will be warranted for a period of one (1) year).

Hardware and Components

Stacking, Sliding, Pivot and Folding door systems and swing door carriers, pivots, surface mounted locks and hinges will be warranted for a period of ten (10) years. Multipoint and locking mechanisms will be warranted for a period of five (5) years. Sliding system hardware components including multipoint lock mechanisms and rolling hardware will be warranted for a period of ten (10) years.All hardware products should be cleaned and maintained as recommended below and as frequently as necessary. Hardware in coastal and salt water environments should be cleaned and maintained every month as a minimum and more frequently to prevent buildup of salt water or corrosive residue. In the event of a warranty claim user must be able to present evidence of a completed maintenance schedule as recommended below.

Weather Seals

All seals are warranted for a period of ten (10) years. Systems should be adjusted as per our recommendation and according to variances in site conditions so as not to put undue stress and/or pressure on seals during operation.

Export Limitation

The maximum warranty period for any product used outside of the United States is two (2) years on glass and components and ten (10) years on folding system hardware.

Warranty Conditions, Exclusions and Limitations

This warranty is limited to defects in materials and workmanship and expressly excludes damage or defects caused by or arising from:

Minor Glass Imperfections

Minor glass imperfections which do not impair the structural integrity or obscure normal vision, including slight bubbles, lines, surface imperfections or discolorations; any imperfections in the glass not detected from within ten feet whilst looking through the glass as per the guidelines established by federal standard ASTM C 1036-01; cracked or broken glass or damage resulting from accident including from impact or wind pressure, misuse or abuse; glass with films or coatings applied; and failure of insulated glass seal due to contact of finishing product.

Stress Cracks

Stress cracks are ALWAYS a result of environmental factors and should be referred to as thermal stress cracks. Thermal stress cracks can occur simply because of the weather outside. Two main environmental conditions lead to thermal stress cracks. 1) Rapid temerature changes in glass over a short period of time. 2) Glass that has uneven temperature distribution across the surface, ie. glass that is half under shade due to overhang, trees, structure, etc. Thermal stress cracks are caused by environmental circumstances and are NOT due to any manufacturing defect. Because of this, thermal stress crack issues are not covered under Euro-Wall’s warranty.

Installation and Maintenance Requirements

Our products must be stored, installed, maintained, repaired, and used in accordance with
acceptable good trade practice and our supplied instructions in order to prevent damage and
maintain your warranty.

Installation and Finishing

Euro-Wall Doors are a specialty product that you cannot assume to be a standard installation of a typical door or window. We are not liable for any defects or problems related to installation. Euro Wall folding door systems are top hung and improper sizing of the header and movement and sagging of the header will affect product performance. It is important that the system is properly adjusted for smooth operation. Our products should be installed with adequate overhang and to prevent the effects of sheeting water from above. It is not our responsibility to design or recommend a flashing system appropriate for each job condition. We offer products that are designed to be weather resistant in exterior applications when installed and adjusted properly, however, because of certain conditions and applications over which we have no control, including but not limited to frame assembly and field adjustment, we do not warrant that our products are impervious to water or water intrusion and air infiltration. We recommend that a professional waterproofing consultant be used to properly integrate our product into the weather barrier of the wall structure.

EURO-WALL AND SLIDING, STACKING, PIVOT and FOLDING DOOR SYSTEMS are custom specialty products which are required to be used in a particular manner. Children under the age of sixteen (16) should not use systems without an adult being present. Euro-Wall door systems should be operated as recommended by us. Failure to do so can cause injury. Improper function of our door systems can lead to injury by way of fingers being caught and pinched between folding and sliding panels.

Limited Warranty Certifications and Testing

Certifications, ratings and performance typically apply to individual products and will vary and change over time depending on the conditions of use.

Recommended Maintenance Procedures

Normal and regular maintenance is required to maintain the appearance and extend the finish life and maintain proper operation. The following maintenance procedures are recommended.

Tracks and Bearings

Tracks and Bearings - Remove surface contaminants by wiping visible track surfaces with a damp soft cloth and a mild detergent, then wipe dry with a clean cloth. Using a suitable applicator spread a small amount of clear petroleum jelly or similar lubricant. Ensure that the carrier wheels pass through the lubricant so that it is distributed evenly along the track. Place additional lubricant around the bearings. In severe environments, apply a thin film of WD40. Always keep the bottom guide channel free from debris.

Hangers, Pivots, Brackets, Handle Back Plates and Hinges

Hangers, Pivots, Brackets, Handle Back Plates and Hinges - Exposed surfaces should be wiped down with warm soapy water and a soft rag, and then rinsed clean before applying new surface protectants. A light spray application of WD40, followed by a light wipe with a dry cloth to remove excess is recommended for all hangers, pivots, brackets and hinges. Be careful not to get these compounds on wood items as they may cause staining. For oil rubbed bronze finish, care should be taken when cleaning or re-applying surface protectants.

Surface Mounted Locking Mechanisms

Surface Mounted Locking Mechanisms - Spraying WD40 to the sliding pin inside the drop bolt and to the lock cylinder (if applicable) is recommended. There are access holes or slots on all drop bolts so that this can be completed without removing the locks from the doors.

Aluminum Coatings

Aluminum Coatings -Exposed surfaces should be cleaned with mild detergent soap and water. Any chips or scratches must be repaired immediately and not left exposed to the elements.

Wood Components

Wood Components - All wood component parts and finishes must be inspected annually for damage resulting from exposure to the elements and repaired immediately.
